Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s Twitter deal is attracting a lot of attention. Prior to the acquisition, three more senior employees, including two vice presidents, left the company. According to the internal memos described to Bloomberg, Ilya Brown, a VP of product management; Katrina Lane, VP of Twitter service; and Max Schmeiser, head of data science, have resigned. This comes less than a week ago when Twitter CEO Parag Agarwal fired two of its top product managers.
